Feed the homeless (governor)

Homelessness is a problem of most metropoliseses, and especially those such as ours where housing prices skyrocketed in a short time, making affordable housing difficult to obtain by those who need it most.  Many times, people have to make do with whatever they can get their hands on.  Some people deal with such adversity better than others.

Just ask Gov. Arnold. According to SFGate.com’s Lynda Gledhill:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Wednesday that he’s “very happy in my little hotel room.”

That in response to a published report in the Sacramento Bee that he and First Lady Maria Shriver have toured a new 15-floor hotel and condominium project being built a few blocks from the Capitol.

Schwarzenegger has been living in a the penthouse in the Hyatt hotel across from the Capitol since taking office. The state has no official governor’s residence and he and Maria found no suitable house when he was first elected. The constraints of security, wanting to be close to the Capitol and necessary space for a governor with four children left almost no options.

Oh, the humanity.  The good thing is that there are a lot of options for the Governor:

If Schwarzenegger decides it doesn’t meet his requirements he can explore other options — Sacramento is experiencing a flood of new high-rise condo projects in its downtown.

Sacramento, flood, high-rise? Get it? Is this thing on?

At least there are a lot of options for our fearless state leader.  After all…

…the tab is paid for by a special nonprofit residence foundation.

Although, one might wonder about the names on the list of donors to this “nonprofit residence foundation”.
